Accepting a Primitive Baptist
challenge, I met Joe S. Newman
at Content, Runnels county in
1903, I think. Newman was an
easy man in debate when cut loose
from his funny yarn supply. I
asked, and he agreed, not to tell
them in our debate. We kept this
agreement, and I considered him
easy to meet. He had just before
published the fact that since “Joe
Warlick wasn’t a gentleman, he
would never meet him again.
This was made much of by our
folks whd thought ‘no wonder,”
since he can’t meet an inexperi-
enced boy.”
I felt very much pleased that I
could meet him. My moderator
